Let's face it, our division is getting weaker and we have the defence to make the playoffs. This year, we are drafting almost at the middle of the first round, but if things go well, we are going to be drafting in the 20s for years to come.
It is true that there are no superstars in this draft at quarterback, but I think the prospects are very competitive. To me, getting a guy that will start for us for years to come at pick #18 is a chance that we should not let pass.
I think Pickett, Willis and Corral are worth the 18th pick. I actually think Ridder is also worth the pick even when he is projected to be drafted later. The position makes the over-draft worthy.
Today, our team is not better than last year, and not even close to what it was too years ago. And still, I am confident we can make the playoffs this year. Going to the Super Bowl? No so.
The immediate impact may come from a wide receiver, but I would be very happy if our pick is a left tackle or one of the quarterbacks.
I really think that it is unfair the pressure on the shoulders of this young man, every one thinks he will be the best next thing even when he still has ways to go.
And, if the guy ends being the prospect everyone hopes for, he will be drafted early and I think, far from the reach of the saints.
